At first, the CRUDE OIL was refined or made into kerosene for lighting. Gasoline and other products made during the refining were thrown away because people had no use for them. This all changed when Henry Ford began mass producing automobiles in the 1890's. Everyone wanted an automobile, and they all ran on gasoline. So the answer to the petroleum as it comes from wells is called crude oil.

How is petroleum removed from the earth?
Petroleum is removed from the earth through a process called drilling. Wells are drilled into underground reservoirs of petroleum, and the oil is then pumped to the surface using a combination of pressure and extraction techniques. The extracted oil is then transported via pipelines or tanker trucks to refineries for processing.
Is petroleum pumped from wells?
Yes and no. Some wells require artificial lift, particularly in the later stages of their life. Many newly discovered wells have sufficient pressure to flow naturally. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_lift
How is petroleum recovered from the ground?
Petroleum is recovered from the ground by drilling deeply into the ground. There are also many other Fossil Fuels, if you would like to look them up. They are all taken from the ground.
Where is petroleum found on earth?
Petroleum is found underground in regions called oil fields. These oil fields are usually located in sedimentary rocks, where organic materials have been heated and compressed over millions of years to form crude oil. Petroleum can be extracted through drilling wells into these oil fields.
How is petroleum collected?
Petroleum is collected through the process of drilling oil wells into underground reservoirs. Once the well is drilled, a pump is used to extract the petroleum from the reservoir and bring it to the surface. The collected petroleum is then transported via pipelines or tankers to refineries for processing.
How is petroleum obtained?
Petrolium is obtained from wells that pump out the petroleum.
How is gasoline and oil made out of petroleum?
gas and other stuff are all made out of the stuff that comes out of the ground called petroleum.

What are two things mined from petroleum wells?
Oil wells, aside from oil, are also sources of natural gas (methane).
Why is it called petroleum jelly when it is made with petrolatum and not some oil?
Petroleum jelly is made from petrolatum, a mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. The name "petroleum jelly" comes from the fact that it is derived from petroleum, not necessarily from being an actual jelly made from oil.
What is the mixture called when crude oil and petroleum come straight from the ground?
"Petroleum" products are distilled from crude oil, so what comes out of the ground is crude oil.
How many petrol wells are in qatar petroleum especially in Dukhan area?
30
Which type of water comes from wells?
Underground or rain water comes from wells. Wells are dug deep down the earth's surface.
Is petroluem jelly water based?
Petroleum jelly, also known as petrolatum, is not water-based. It is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, which is a non-polar substance. Water-based products contain water as the main ingredient, whereas petroleum jelly is oil-based and does not contain any water.
How is petroleum recovered from the ground?
Petroleum is recovered from the ground by drilling deeply into the ground. There are also many other Fossil Fuels, if you would like to look them up. They are all taken from the ground.
What percentage of the world's energy comes from petroleum products?
It is more than 70% of it thx. Especially to Deformedtiger
